Ray Rice Cut By Ravens

[squarecut1]

Bread and circuses.

With the decrease in the supply of bread, they have made sure there are greater and greater variety of circuses out there.

I haven't seen it mentioned...or clarified...was this video available PRIOR to the NFL / Police involvement?

If the answer is yes, than this is pretty bad for the NFL to only take this sort of action until after it became public...

Yes the video was available and seen by both the law and NFL. It is only the public which has seen it now.

As for the law, he was let go with a slap on the wrist because he is rich. I'd suggest you not to try this at home, and expect the same results, unless you too are of the same level where a different justice system applies. I use you in the generic sense.

As for NFL, we know the reason why.

He looked into it, but backed out when the UFC wanted him to fight men rather than women.

Sick burn

 

[DrPizza]

Wow, some of you are disgusting. I hope you're never in a position where you're around children. "Well, little Johnny was having a temper tantrum and hit me first. So, I knocked him the fuck out, as I'm entitled to in self-defense."

(Covered by Jagec above.)

Oh, and of course the NFL has to ban him. The NFL is a product. Over the last decade or so, they've been making some significant headway in attracting another very large market: women.

Not only that but Ray Rice will have a cleaner record than Ray Lewis after 1 year as well.

Maybe the ravens don't want the years of questions like that had to deal with in Ray Lewis's case?

According to Ray Lewis:

"There is no comparison between me and Ray Rice. It’s night and day."

I am glad that they cut the Scum bag. Fuck all the smoke and mirrors you all are trying to bring up. The guy does not deserve to be on a football field in the view of public.

I don't know anything about MLB contracts, but tell me why NPR is wrong:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way...alls-miguel-cabrera-lets-dig-into-that-number



Or: http://sabr.org/research/baseball-s-major-salary-milestones




Or: http://www.answers.com/Q/Are_Major_League_Baseball_contracts_fully_guaranteed

Or: http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/vernon-wells-crazy-contract-mlb-over-nfl/

Because MLB has similar rules to the other sports in the the only across the board guarantees are for veterans, length of time with one team, fully guaranteed for the current year etc... Every other guarantee is something that must be negotiated into the contract, just as is explained in a snippet in one of those links. As Chris Mortenson said on air during the last NFl labor dispute, none of the leagues have across the board contract guarantees it's up to what the player can negotiate.

SMARTASS ALERT!!!

My comment on contracts was to inform the other person that the non-guaranteed salaries were not a fault of Rice having a poor agent, but standard contract terms across the entire NFL. The MLB union is very strong and has been able to achieve guaranteed salaries as a standard basis in constructing MLB player contracts. The NFL union has not been that strong and has not been able to muscle such terms into standard NFL player contracts.

MLB players are able to win such terms with an owner because if the owner does not agree, chances are very likely the player will achieve those terms with a competing owner. In the NFL, that is not the case. An NFL player does not have the power to achieve a guaranteed salary because it is highly unlikely a competing owner will sign the player to such terms. And it's due in large part to the actions of the players union, the solidarity of the union members, and the value of the union & individual players to the profitability of the team business.

and yet how many people take that as gospel.

 

[lupi]

Yes.



No shit.



(See above.)



Yes. But look at this thread - it's filled with pieces of shit who think that it's OK for a dude who is 5'8", 220 pounds, and less than 10% body fat to hit a woman, as long as she hit him first.

NFL said they didn't at the time and repeated that today, but who cares about facts!

 

[feralkid]

She only got knocked out because she hit her head on the railing. He did not punch her hard enough to knock her out.

Railing to be suspended for 2 weeks for aiding and abetting.

Gravity and Inertia may get off with a warning.

This.

 

[feralkid]

Probably. Which is begging the question of your crime being more criminal if it is national news?

"Begging the question" doesn't mean what you think it does.

But he is the pusher who gives the junkies their dose of sports. Hence all the excuses, the smokes and mirrors.

Bad call on the NLF's behalf. A lovers' quarrel should not cost a man his job.

Ha!

"Lovers' quarrel".

I guess if he'd stabbed her with a knife, you'd call it a "Misallocation of cutlery resources".

Brandon Marshall got stabbed by his wife. And takes passes from Cutler.

I'd take this seriously, but

1. What the fuck is NLF?
2. You're Dari, resident dumbass who doesn't know his dick from his toe.
3. Has your friend secretly given his women abortion drugs yet?

 

[Dari]

I think the NFL is trying to be PC at the expense of good men like Ray Rice and, yes, Ray Lewis (who was attacked and had to defend himself). American football is exceedingly violent and to treat these men as if they're actors is a joke. You can't turn off the violence at the drop of a hat.

At the same time the men deserve some of the blame. If possible, they shouldn't congregate with gold-diggers and whores and thugs. Not saying they should be at a Children's Hospital every day but they have to make better choices.

Yes, you are a fucktard.

 

[Dari]

Yes, you are a fucktard.

Yeah, I'm the fucktard. Judging this man (or any other man) by a single act isn't retarded. Nope, the circumstances don't matter one bit. You just keep telling yourself that you're better than some of these athletes based on what you see/read of a singular event. Whatever carries you through your miserable life is fine, I guess.

Hey dickscarf, compared the myriad of worthless shit you've managed to spew out here on the forums, the miserable life seems to be yours.

And you are a fucktard. Fucking Stevie Wonder could tell you Ray Rice is a piece of shit. If you can't tell and judge by yourself by seeing everything in the video along with the circus and very carefully worded and scripted "interviews" and news conferences over the past few weeks, then you are completely brain damaged.

That tells me you either have hit a woman in the same manner in the past or grew up in that type of household for it not resonate on some negative level with you.

[xaeniac]

quite simple... do not hit your woman

You're a bigger fucktard than I thought you were. Single act? So, as long as someone only rapes, kills or knocks out a woman, just once, it's cool.

Sorry fucktard, I would never hit a woman, especially my fiance. You may beat your wife, so I can see why you would side with this POS. POS's need to stick together.

But based on the threads you've created here, we all knew that a long time ago.
